As comparing to the conventional structure, the casing can be manually rotated for changing the tilt angle of the casing at 0˜90 degrees and fastened to a certain position with the coordination of the rod assembly. When disposing the casing at a certain angle, the seat cushion can be swayed and extended for an infant to sit. Or, when the casing is disposed in a horizontal planar state, the seat cushion can be swayed and folded for the infant to lie flat. Thus, the luggage trunk stroller is capable of carrying the infant during walking. The luggage and the infant can be carried at the same time for effectively improving the added value of the luggage trunk stroller.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a luggage trunk stroller with a seat cushion; more particularly, to carrying an infant or child together with luggage during walking.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ARTS

A carrying trunk with wheel is used to store clothes so that people can easily carry them for outing. Hence, it has become a must-have for traveling for business or leisure. The types and sizes of conventional trunks are various. But, no matter what kind of trunk is, it all has a luggage rack to provide simple storage of clothing, whose function is quite limited.

However, many travelers often feel inconvenient in mobility for carrying too much luggage, especially when they carry infants/kids with them. Because they have to carry baby strollers and other infant necessities, the items in the luggage are increased in number; and it becomes difficult to drag suitcases by one hand and push a stroller by the other hand. This makes those travelers struggling. Not only dilemma and inconveniences happen on using devices, but also physical burden increases, which results in a cumbersome and exhausting journey having infants/kids carried with.

Since the traditional trunks are inconvenient and limited in function, a few prior arts are revealed. However, they still have various disadvantages to be improved. One prior art of trunk requires an extra space for storing tabletop and table legs, which is not suitable for traveling while not only extra space is occupied but also the weight is increased. In some other prior art, the trunks cannot be separated with the seats, which increase weight and cause extra handling problems. Further, the above patents are all fixed at a certain point for sitting or lying, but there are no seat for an infant while carrying their luggage. Some luggage trunk strollers are revealed in those prior arts. A kind of luggage trunk strollers is disadvantaged in a shaky gravity center. Another kind of luggage trunk strollers has an unfold seat cushion pivoted at both ends of a side of a casing, which is relatively insufficient in structural strength. As long as the infant has a slightly heavier weight, the seat cushion may be easily broken, whose security is worthy of consideration. Still, another kind of luggage trunk strollers use single wheels to be inclined at an appropriate angle for carrying the seated infant. Because the heavy luggage and the infant are carried at the same time, the operation is laborious. Nevertheless, because the seat is set corresponding to the single wheel at bottom of the casing at another side surface, the infant's feet may easily touch the ground or be suspending for nowhere to place on.

Hence, the prior arts do not fulfill all users' expectations on actual use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main purpose of the present invention is to manually pivoting a casing of a luggage trunk stroller for changing a tilt angle at 0˜90 degrees to be fastened at a certain position with the coordination of a rod assembly, where a seat cushion can be swayed and expanded for an infant to sit when the casing is disposed at a certain angle; the seat cushion can be swayed and folded for the infant to lie flat when the casing is disposed in a horizontal planar state; and, thus, the luggage trunk stroller can carry the infant and the luggage at the same time during walking.

To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is an adjustable luggage trunk stroller having a foldable seat, where the luggage trunk stroller comprises a rod assembly, a casing, a seat cushion and a seat belt; the rod assembly comprises a grasping part and two parallel sleeves; the grasping part has two ends separately sleeved in top ends of the parallel sleeves to be prolonged or shortened in length; the parallel sleeves are combined with a front wheel set at first bottom ends of the parallel sleeves; the parallel sleeves have two rotation pivots and two support rods at two sides of the parallel sleeves separately opposite to the casing; the support rods are disposed to the rotation pivots at second top ends of the support rods separately to be swayed with a center of the rotation pivots; the support rods are combined with a rear wheel set at second bottom ends of the support rods; the casing is combined with the rotation pivots of the parallel sleeves at two opposite sides of the casing; the casing is swayed with a center of the rotation pivots of the parallel sleeves to obtain a tilt angle; the seat cushion is pivotally connected to the casing; the seat cushion is swayed and extended to be used on a front surface of the casing or is swayed and folded to be disposed on a side of the casing; and the seat belt is obtained on the front surface of the casing to fasten and safeguard an infant. Accordingly, a novel adjustable luggage trunk stroller having a foldable seat is obtained.

As shown in the figures, the present invention is an adjustable luggage trunk stroller having a foldable seat, comprising a casing 1, a rod assembly 2, a seat cushion 3 and a seat belt 4.

In the first to the third states-of-use, as shown in FIG. 1, the rod assembly 2 comprises a grasping part 21 and two parallel sleeves 22; the grasping part 21 has two ends separately sleeved in top ends of the parallel sleeves 22 to be prolonged or shortened in length; the parallel sleeves 22 are combined with a front wheel set 23 at bottom ends; the parallel sleeves 22 have two rotation pivots 24 and two support rods 25 at two sides separately opposite to the casing 21; the support rods 25 are disposed to the rotation pivots 24 at top ends separately to be swayed with a center of the rotation pivots 24; and the support rods 25 are combined with a rear wheel set 26 at bottom ends. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotation pivots 24 are adjustable to adjust angles formed by propping between the parallel sleeves 22 and the support rods 25.

The casing 1 is combined with the rotation pivots 24 of the parallel sleeves 22 at two opposite sides, so that the casing 1 can be swayed with a center of the rotation pivots 24 of the parallel sleeves 22 to obtain a tilt angle. For example, the support rods 25 has a fixing rod (or a positioning shaft) 251 to fix the tilt angle of the casing 1 swayed to 0˜90 degrees, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. The casing 1 can be rotated from a vertical state with a slightly tilt angle for an infant to sit on into a horizontal state for an infant to lie flat. The casing 1 has a holding depression 11 concaved in a front surface of the casing 1 where the seat cushion 3 is swayed up or down and folded to be held in the holding depression 11 or at bottom the casing 1.

The seat cushion 3 is pivotally connected to the casing 1, which is swayed and extended to be used on the front surface of the casing 1 or is swayed and folded to be disposed on a side of the casing 10. In a state-of-use, the seat cushion 3 is swayed and extended with a first joint 31 set at a side opposite to the casing 1.

The seat belt 4 is set on the front surface of the casing 1 to fasten and safeguard the infant. In a state-of-use, the seat belt 4 comprises at least two straps 41 and a second joint 42; first ends of the straps 41 are separately fixed at two sides on the front surface of the casing 1; second ends of the straps 41 are jointed to the second joint 42; and the second joint 42 is capable of being removed and fixed at the first joint 31. Therein, the seat cushion 3, the front surface of the casing 1 and the straps 41 form a holding space by fixing the second joint 42 to the first joint 31; and the holding space firmly holds the infant to be sat on the seat cushion 3 with the head of the infant between the straps 41 and the first joint 31 between the two legs of the infant. In another state-of-use, in addition to the seat belt 4, the casing 1 further has two connecting parts (not shown in the figures) at two corresponding sides of said casing as adhering to said seat cushion 3; each of the connecting parts has a strap at an end and a locking device at the other end; the straps of the connecting parts are combined with and fixed at the sides of the casing 1 separately; and the locking devices of the two connecting parts are connected with each other to wind around the waist of the infant and are detachable.

Please further refer to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, which are views showing a fifth and a sixth states-of-use of a second preferred embodiment and a rear view showing the sixth state-of-use of the second preferred embodiment. As shown in the figures, the present invention has a second preferred embodiment.
